AIRCRAFT, me old mate,
speaking of leadership, or yawning lack of it at QF for example,
ever heard of Shackleton?
He intended to lead the first expedition to complete a land crossing of the South Pole. However, when his ship Endurance became trapped in the ice floe, its sinking became inevitable and the crew were forced to begin
life on the ice.
Against seemingly hopeless odds, with almost no food or fuel, Shackleton managed to keep his 27 man crew alive for two terrifying years. He is acknowledged now as
one of the great leaders of all time.
Two Years, 'aircraft'. And how did he do this?
The Australian article:
Possibly the greatest challenges for airline management today is to convince staff of the need for change - made far more difficult when management itself is not prepared to lead by example.
He led by example. Thats how. He kept the crew alive. Pulling together, they survived.
It is not an experiment.
You dork.
